The Koh-i-Noor

A compelling and erudite history of the world's most celebrated, mythologised and infamous diamond. Translated as ‘The Mountain of Light’, the Koh-i Noor’s true history is one of greed, murder, torture, colonialism and appropriation. Set against its travels across India, Iran, Afghanistan and, finally, to England where the story ends with the jewel in its current controversial setting: in the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
